    Cats alone in a room with an open flame is a recipe for disaster, don’t do it.
    (this cat had good instincts, but many cats don’t seem to understand what fire is and would not react this way)

        Jfc, I couldn’t watch past the point where the fire catches even if the cat made it, just imagining the panic, it’s a no from me…
        But yes, this is a perfect illustration of my point.

          Luckily the fire just goes out by itself, and only the hairs on the tip are burned. Cat didn’t feel a thing!

            Thanks for that, what I assume happened is the dog got scared first and startled the cat which is how the fire went out or something along those lines anyway, but watching any of that happen? My heart can’t take it 😅

              No startling whatsoever. The cat just watches like “Huh, that’s interesting” while the dog walks around confused.

              Very understandable! I was a little concerned when I looked up “cat tail fire gif”, but luckily all the first results were the one I wanted. Couldn’t bear to watch a cat get hurt :(

              Funnily enough the cats tail catches on fire, and the cat just stares at it, and that’s enough to put the fire out somehow :D

                Fire doesn’t want to mess with cats. The disapproving look was enough to make it to go out.
